All he wanted was a fresh start. But you can’t run from what’s inside you.

 

Ian Troy sacrificed everything for peace. After centuries of conflict, the realms of Mirra’kelan are united. His magic is no longer needed. Free to choose his own path, Ian sets sail on a journey of exploration with his friend and ally, Jarryd Kane.

Months on the open sea, far from the shores of home, they arrive at an isolated chain of rocky islands shrouded in mystery—the Wandering Isles. Their inhabitants, rumored to produce spirits of an exceptional quality, have gone unseen for many years. Assuming the lands abandoned, Ian is unaware of what awaits them: a race of insidious beings unlike any he has encountered before.

Coerced into a nefarious trade by the elusive islanders, reality blurs, as Ian and Jarryd become unwitting subjects in a series of mind-bending trials. Past and future fears, resurrected and melded into their own private hells, force them to face an inescapable enemy—the darkest recesses of their own minds. The only way out is to complete the trade, but will their sanity survive the process?

The border between supernaturals and humans is at risk. War is imminent unless a comatose princess wakes. It’s only a matter of time before the situation turns violent. He’s searching everyone and everything to find a cure and a peaceful resolution.
——————
Unattached paranormals are on the prowl…
And who can blame them?
After being missing in action for quite some time, Vampire Lord Kobreon is in the limelight again. The competition is stiff to earn a place at his side. Who knows how long it will be before someone ends up owning a majority stake at the heart of the deal?
——————
She studied his history – collected his memorabilia – worshipped him from afar. If only fate’s favourable gaze would shine on her this one time…
The odds are stacked against her. Instead of fangs and claws, she has soft fuzz; replacing strength and agility are waddles and paddles. No one wants to talk to a failed shifter, let alone date one.
Can the only duckling on the water stay afloat, or will her dreams of a happily ever after sink forever?
Chances for eternal love don’t come around often. She’s praying this opportunity will turn out Just Ducky.

About C.A. King

I was diagnosed with clinical depression after the loss of my mother, father and husband within three years of each other; all to cancer. 24/7 in-home care, coupled with the loss I felt, left its mark on my psyche.

Depression takes up a lot of my life. Reading and writing are the only things I have found that help (in connection with regular medication), even if only for a short time. To escape to a different world can make a big difference in my mood in real time.

To put things in perspective, when I was at my lowest point, I couldn’t open mail, talk on the phone, or even drive to the store. Walls of sadness surrounded me. As they closed in, tears would fall. There didn’t need to be a reason or trigger.

People ask me why I started writing. My answer is simple: I wanted to create a world into which other people with similar problems could escape. I wanted to share the one place that had helped me for many years.

I have always said that as long as one person finds a little bit of happiness out of my books, I am, in my opinion, an accomplished author. The same is true for every writer out there. Please don’t ever let anyone tell you differently.

I read books as well as write them and have visited the worlds many different authors have created. Those worlds not only make me feel better, but give me the strength to face real life again. I want to thank everyone who writes—I want them to know they are making a difference.

Fast forward to today…

The cobblestones felt familiar beneath Mariella’s feet as she made her way through the streets of Rome one final time despite her heart aching with each step she took. Emigrating to America means saying goodbye to a family she fiercely loves, a city still bearing the scars of war and ghosts of the past. But the promise of a lifetime by Jack’s side is all she needs. Or is it?
Mariella’s dreams quickly fracture when she arrives in Asbury Park. She struggles for a sense of belonging while navigating gossiping housewives and a disapproving mother-in-law. And with Jack working late nights at the restaurant, she often longs for his company.
Yet, once they move into their charming house in Wanamassa Gardens, Mariella finds her footing. Friendships flourish, and their family grows, giving her hope for a future in their idyllic corner of suburbia. Just as her dreams become reality, a heartbreaking call forces her to return to Italy and confront the decisions that led her across the Atlantic.
With so much at stake, Mariella must choose between the place she’s always known and the life she’s always yearned for. Can she find the strength to say farewell to her family once again? What will it cost her if she can’t?

Born of the Shinree, an enslaved fallen race, Ian Troy is magically bound to protect the kingdom of Rella. Since childhood, he trained to be their champion in a seemingly never-ending war.

He believes his role is vital to the realms of Mirra’kelan finally knowing peace.
Only, war is nothing like he thought.

When Queen Aylagar handpicks him for a mission deep inside enemy territory, he thinks his time has come. Fate willing, he will prove to them all: Ian Troy is more than the “witch” they believe.

Not So Little Things by Kyle Ann Robertson
Hosted by Itsy Bitsy Book Bits
Genre – Family
Listening Length – 10 hours 7 minutes
Cover Designer – Mike Quinones

At the age of nine years old, TINA EDWARDS finds her mother MARY JANE EDWARDS smoking a cigarette, sitting across from her beloved dead father JONATHAN EDWARDS. Tina adored her father, embracing the time he spent with her building fairy villages under the pecan trees in their backyard. Her mother disappears after selling her family home in the foothills of the North Georgia mountains and leaves Tina with her father’s sister, her wheelchair-bound AUNT LIDDY EDWARDS. Tina leaves for college, majors in Art History, and specializes in creating dollhouse-sized replicas of historic rooms in homage to her beloved father. All the while, Tina believes her mother has something to do with her father’s death.
Tina establishes her niche business in the world of miniatures with her best friend NISSA, Tina’s own Jiminy Cricket. When Mary Jane shows up with family secrets after 22 years of absence and dying of lung cancer. Tina reluctantly allows her mother to move in during her treatments and Mary Jane brings along BELLA, her caregiver and companion.
Tina believes she has betrayed the memory of her father and avoids Mary Jane when handsome businessman/restaurateur Mr. JAKE MARTIN hires Tina to replicate the original rooms of his family’s mansion turned B&B. Tina discovers more than the businessman cares to know about his family. Having been fueled by tales from the past, he believes he must accept his lineage, but chooses to ignore it. When Nissa discovers family unknown to Jake and his mother, they find out the stories from the past were unfounded and become reunited with that side of the family, proving that miscommunications passed down through families create unwarranted, painful separations, echoing Tina’s life story.
Because Tina gradually learns the truth about her father’s death, she must let go of all her childhood beliefs and perceptions. Johnathan had a heart attack while informing Mary Jane that he was filling for divorce, moving to DC, and planning on taking Tina with him. Mary Jane was not going to allow Jonathan to take Tina away from Aunt Liddy and threatened to tell the world his secret- that he is the one ultimately responsible for putting Liddy in her wheelchair as well as the death of Tina’s birth father. Tina reels from the news that Jonathan was not her father but her Uncle and Mary Jane, the mother she grew up despising, is not her mother but her aunt who actually sacrificed everything to keep Tina with her rightful birth mother, Liddy. Tina forfeits all her childhood beliefs, the ones she has based every one of her adult choices on, to become as strong as the women who raised her when she realizes the decisions made by her mother, father, and aunt throughout her childhood were all made, and held in secrecy, in the name of love and protection.

All I want is to prove myself…

 

I’m Jaru Fane, imp, and former contract companion who puts up a good front, but inside I feel like I’m falling apart.

With the support of my Juniper Lake family, I finally know what I want to do with my life – start a business. Unfortunately, running a business doesn’t leave me a lot of time for my best friend, Larkspur.

 

Lonely, Lark decides to take matters into his own hands and remind me that he exists. The result is the start of something between us I never considered before. As things are starting to get good, like usual, my life goes to crap.

 

When disaster strikes, I know I’m not cut out to be what Lark needs. He needs someone like my bodyguard, Soren. I’m not strong. I’m not powerful. I’m always going to need someone to save me from myself. Setting Lark up with Soren seems like the best answer, but if I make the decision that will keep Lark safe, I may lose him forever.

Naomi Valkyrie, often called a Firebrand Provocateur, brings her unique Autistic perspectives and curiosities to life by weaving tales of deep connection, mystery, and romance. She is inspired by being able to spontaneously create a thought that takes on a life of its own, opening up new adventures for her readers.

 

The Paranormal Romance and Urban Fantasy realms are particular areas of interest for Naomi as they allow for the vast exploration of magic, adventure, and the impossible while creating diverse characters that her readers connect with on an emotional level.

 

When she isn’t attending to familial connections, Naomi loves a dark, comfy reading space surrounded by the symbolism of her spiritual archetypes and her daemon/familiars, while she sips her tea and immerses herself in imagination.

Detective Dylan and the Hunt for Home Plate (A Youth Sleuths Chapter Book) by MJ Murray – Review by Candice Estes

Detective Dylan and the Hunt for Home Plate (A Youth Sleuths Chapter Book Series 2)Detective Dylan and the Hunt for Home Plate by M.J. Murray
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dylan, Emily and their adorable dog Theodore are off on another adventure, with another mystery to solve. When Emily and Dylan join the neighborhood baseball team, and head to their first practice in the park, they are brought into a mystery. Upon arriving, they learn that the plates for the bases are missing! While the trio explores the park in search of the missing plates, they come across many obstacles to navigate. Sometimes the obstacles are as simple as talking to playground pirates, and sometimes they are more intricate. With Detective Dylan on the case, along with his sister Emily and trusty puppy Theodore, no mystery is too great! This is a great book for elementary kids, and while it is a part of a series, it can be read as a stand-alone book without any issues.
